The Masque of the Red Death.pdf      Slave Narratives.pdf 

Part 1

 

Read another literary piece from an author of your choice that we have studied throughout the course. Write a detailed comparison of the two literary pieces, using specific details from each.  Your paper should be 1,000-1,500 words at least with proper use of quotations and citations.  You may decide to limit your focus to character, plot, setting, symbolism, conflict, point of view, or theme. For example, you may choose Edgar Allan Poe. We have read “Premature Death” and “The Masque of the Red Death.” So, you would select another of Poe’s repertoire that best suits your project’s direction. Be sure to write only in third person narrative voice.

 

Please ensure you are properly quoting and citing in MLA format. Remember if there is a citation on the Works Cited page that source must have been used in the body of the forum post.

 

Part 2

 

Each question should be approximately 300 words in length.

 

Question 1

 

From Frederick Douglass’ “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,” what pro-slavery arguments does Douglass refer to or hint at in his narrative?  How does he counter the various pro-slavery arguments? Provide quotes and cites to support your assertions.

 

Question 2

 

What themes (messages, lessons, ideas, or concepts) or motifs (recurrent thematic elements in the work) did you notice within Douglass’ narrative? What do you consider to be the key passages in the narrative? Why are these passages so significant?

 

Please ensure you are properly quoting and citing in MLA format. Remember if there is a citation on the Works Cited page that source must have been used in the body of the forum post.
